List of Birds of Himachal Pradesh with Pictures (Click to Tweet)

Here you can find the list of the Indian Birds which we can find in the Himachal Pradesh state of India. Because of the Himalayan range crossing through Himachal Pradesh, we can find here many birds which are exclusive to the Himalayan region.

Therefore, it is an easy task to find many spots untouched by humans to find birds. This is the list of all bird pictures captured by Himachal Pradesh and this list is growing as I get a chance to capture new birds.
